Over the last week, people have been using social media as a tool to get their netball fix.
The Netball Family have found innovative ways to stay connected during this time through shooting challenges, home workout tips and sharing positive stories online.
We have pulled together the best bits shared on social media from the last seven days.
‘Through The Keyhole’
There was a hive of activity and debate over on Instagram Stories this week as Thursday Takeovers officially kicked off with a first for England Netball.
One of the Vitality Rose’s granted unprecedented access to their house as the Netball Family got to go ‘Through The Keyhole’ and guess who lived there with Helen Housby, Serena Guthrie and Kadeen Corbin among the names mentioned.
✨ No better way to officially kick off Thursday Takeovers than with a first for England Netball…
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to go 'Through The Keyhole' at a Vitality Rose's house 🗝️😱

Bringing the netball court indoors
Social media has once again been a buzz with innovative and creative ideas from the Netball Family – none more so than Tyler-Sue, who managed to create an entire netball court indoors complete with playable netball posts!
Day 11! So this one took some setting up but could easily be done with the inside of a toilet roll and a ball! Have fun ballers 🤪 #QuarentineLife #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #offthecourt @Nike @GilbertNetball @JaffaFruit @NetballSL @Vitality_UK @HarrodSport @SkyNetball @SkySports pic.twitter.com/QdFzHCxJxi
